Despite the extra 95HP it only is a little faster. I would expect more from that. I don't care what brand name either holds, the ZO6 is a winner in my book anytime. For the $14k difference I can do a turbo or blower set-up with full bolt ons and cam and just blow the **** out of anything.

I see it like this the viper as tested was 91K, spend just a bit more and just get the ZR1 if you can get your hands on one. But for sure the ZR1 is going to be nowhere near the 100K, dealer mark up is going to shoot it far from that. But then again the ZR1 is going to man handle just about everything.

on a performance note:
also, the zr1 wont be a n/a vehicle. the viper is. take that viper to hennessey and get their twin turbo and internals package on it and shoot, you have yourselves a Hennessey. ladies and gents, the hennessey viper beat the bugatti veyron. think the zr1 will? idk, id like to see the zr1 get modified by lit or someone! (id still take the viper though)

i would take the viper over any z06 or zr1, not bc of performance ect, but i like the looks of them more. im more attracted to them.

sweet video! what a lot of people don't realize is before driving each car, they have to sit down and do A LOT of research about the car. then after they're done driving, they spend DAYS documenting and writing every single thing about the experience, like fun factor, costs, reliability, handling, the engineering behind it, etc... the drivers are mostly the ones who write the articles in the magazines, and the editors just paste the text on the page. these drivers are AMAZING writers and probably have english/engineering degrees as well. they're very skilled drivers and very smart people too! a lot more work goes into this than just the driving aspect. that only lasts a few hours, if that...
